#Also should Jazz be Barbara or Harley?

[artemismoorea03]

DPxDC Writing Prompt Idea

I have no idea if this has been done before but I just had this idea so if it has been done feel free to ignore this but I gotta share this.

So, I always see these prompts of different characters being related to different DC characters. For example I've seen some where people say that Tucker is related to Lucius Fox. Dash is related to Harley Quinn. Jack being related to Bruce Wayne. Danny related to Tim/Damian/Dick or any of the other Batfam but one I haven't seen before is one that I feel could be easily used.

Maddie Fenton is related to Jim Gordon.

Now, I've never seen this or even heard people talking about it and I can kind of understand why. Maddie is shown to have a sister but like - hear me out anyways.

Maddie has a cousin, she has met him a couple of times as a kid and only once as an adult when Danny was around 7. There wasn't any real reason for it, just a Family Reunion and an excuse to spend time as a family, something she often forgot to do when she was so determined to get the Ghost Portal open.

Her cousin is Jim and his daughter is a good ten years older than Danny. She had heard that Jim was quickly rising in rank in Gotham City and that his daughter - despite the occasional odd truancy issues - had her head on straight. Jazz also adored the older girl and followed her around the entire reunion, looking almost like Barbara's little sister.

Danny got closer to Jim than his daughter though, and started talking about things that he probably shouldn't have. After all, what 7 year old has a filter? What 7 year old knows not to mention the fact that sometimes their food attacks them or that Jazz is learning how to cook because sometimes mom and dad forget to feed them because their research is important. The more Danny talks the more concerned Jim gets, but he's also conflicted.

This is his cousin, the same cousin who the time Danny fell and scraped his knee peppered kisses on each and every one of his freckles on his face and danced with him until the pain stopped and then patched him up and danced with him again. This is family. He's sure that Danny is just... making things sound bigger than they are, as children do - at least he hopes that's the case.

But on the off chance that there is something going on he slips Jazz and Danny both his number and gives his cousin the same number in case anything came up.

As the years go on though Jim starts to see more red flags. Small things at first - Jazz asking how to change the batteries in a fire alarm. Danny calling to ask if pot-lids could be stuck in the microwave to cover rice. Basic questions that could be asked to a parent or a parent should be doing for their kids anyways. But whenever Jim asked about this the answer was the same.

"Mom and Dad are busy in the lab."

This continued for years until a call from Jazz one night seven years after he'd met them for the first time. She was crying and sobbing, her voice shaking as she tries to get the words out.

"Danny had an accident. Mom and dad aren't home, what do I do?"

Jim was 900 miles away, he had no way to get to them. No way to get him to them. So he did what he could and instructed her to hang up with him and call for an ambulance. Jazz was scared though, she didn't trust the doctors but thankfully Danny's voice could be heard.

The relief Jazz had when her brother woke up was enough to make Jim feel like he was going to throw up. The call ended shortly after that but he made sure to call a few days later and ask his cousin how Danny was doing.

"Danny? He's just fine!"

"That's good. He healed from the accident then?"

"What accident- oh, Jack no, that goes to the right - your other right. Jim, sorry I have to go. We can talk about this later, okay?"

Jim was appalled. Jazz had called him in tears, hyperventilating and Danny had been unconscious - Jazz though he was dead - and their parents didn't have any idea?

It was a little over a year later that he got another call. Just as frantic, just as scared, but much worse.

Danny was all but screaming in the back ground, voices were telling him to holds still and that they knew it hurt but he was bleeding out and he needed to hold still. Terrified, hurt, betrayed voices. Jazz again explained the situation, this time eerily calm.

"I can't go into details over the phone but we're coming to Gotham City to seek Asylum against a law that will get Danny killed. We need you to keep Batman off of our tails until Danny is healed. We'll handle everything from there."

"Healed? Healed from what?" Why did these calls always happen during work. "Jazz, what is happening? You have to give me something if I'm going to protect you guys."

"... My parents cut Danny open, Jim. They cut him open and he's hurt bad. Myself, Danny, and two of our friends are on our way to you now." Jim felt like his jaw hit the floor then snapped back up so hard it gave him whiplash as he sank back in his chair. "Before you ask; no. Hospitals aren't an option. Danny isn't a meta and they weren't violating any laws when they cut him open. Which is why we need you to keep Batman away from us for as long as possible. What... what Danny is shouldn't exist and if anybody gets a hold of him they'll cut him back open, turn him into a super weapon, or destroy him."

"Then why call me. I'm a police commissioner. What makes you sure you can trust me?"

"I'm not. Neither are the others with us but the only thing Danny has said since we saved him is 'Go to Jim'. We're following his lead on this. So... I'm trusting Danny, who has his full trust in you, Jim. Don't let him down."

So I found this magazine article about Josh while he was still with Minnie Driver in 2000. You can learn more about his early life, worth reading it!

The Heir Up There: Josh Brolin

Text by John Griffiths | Photographs by Art Streiber Article and photos contributed by the wonderfully generous Dana

It was a full-throttle kind of day, and to the glee of Trevor, 11, and Eden, 6, Josh Brolin has just topped a steep hill with his dusty black Jeep. Now the three are standing among a group of moss-dripping oaks high above their 97-acre ranch near Paso Robles, Calif., taking in the panorama. “When you shout, it echoes for over a minute," says Trevor, just before filling the canyon with a bellow. Dad grins. "There's so much serenity here," says Brolin, "and not that new age kind of peace. It's real, down-home dirt serenity." even if you have to work to achieve it: To get to the spread and the three-bedroom, two-story log house that serves as its locus, visitors must navigate a rocky, twisted, mile-long road, cross a bridge and ford stream (Josh, not everyone has an SUV), all the while trying not to be distracted by grazing deer. Bobcats and foxes roam these parts, too, and there's probably not a talent agent within 200 miles. "This is my world," says Brolin. "I don't trust Hollywood, so I don't take it too seriously."

Presumably he doesn't mind that Hollywood won't be rebuffed. After acting in such indie films as Flirting with Disaster (as the straight-arrow, bisexual Fed) and gamely tackling such roles as a cockroach-battling hero in Mimic and a seductive villain in last year's Mod Squad, Brolin, 32, is pressing into mainstream with this summer's sci-fi flick Hollow Man, as the buddy of Invisibility-prone scientist Kevin Bacon. Josh's dad James, of course, is an entrenched TV star -- Marcus Welby, M.D.; Hotel and the current Pensacola -- while his stepmom of two years is la Streisand herself (Brolin fils calls her Barbra). And Josh's own love? Bright-faced actress Minnie Driver, whom he met at a barbecue in 998 (the pair also heat up the upcoming Mexican-desert drama Slow Burn). But Brolin's surroundings put all those tabloid teasers into perspective, according to actor Anthony Zerbe, a friend since the two gunslinged through the early nineties series The Young Riders. "There's this whole Hollywood aspect to Josh's life, but then he's got his ranch where he takes off his shirt and digs a well," says Zerbe. "The place is a bulwark against the intrusive parts of his profession."

Brolin's father and his late mother, Jane, a "female Grizzly Adams" who nursed ailing animals for the California Department of Fish and game, bought the land in 1975 and built their dream home. Josh grew up here with his brother, Jess, and was an A student at Santa Barbara High, some 90 miles away. "My dad dug the pond," says Brolin, skipping stones on the half-acre body of water. "I was lucky to be around people who appreciate this life." His mom, a "spitfire" who urged him to speak his mind, stayed after the couple split in 1985. Five years ago, she died in a car crash, and Josh, then stage acting and directing in Rochester, N.Y., inherited his childhood home -- and all its memories. In the small office, a shelf of his mom's cookbooks; in the pine-beamed, Santa Fe-influenced living room, cowhide couches and a backgammon table (I broke the glass top when I was Eden's age"); and on a counter in the kitchen, a tin holding his mother's ashes. An unorthodox resting place, maybe, but, Brolin says with a smile, "That's how she wanted it."

Initially, nostalgia inhibited him from making the house his own. "For three years, I didn't move a lamp or change a bulb," he says. Lately, however, he's begun to tinker. Streisand hasn't offered any decorating tips, though Brolin notes that she's "very into her home like I am." She visited once, right after he moved in. "It was falling apart," says Brolin. "She said I should sell it." Instead, he tidied things up, bleached the sun-charred decks, and began combing antique stores for Tiffany lamps and Latin-influenced, carved-wood furniture. Outside, he plans to build a dock over the catfish pond. "When I was growing up, if you slipped walking in, you'd get three fish bones in your foot. It'll be easier for the kids to swim."

But what the one-time pasta chef really wants to master is nonchalant hosting, a la the Europeans. "They have their table outside and take their time," says Brolin, whose specialty is zabaglione. "That's what I want to create." He should have no problem, says Mary Steenburgen, who appeared with the younger Brolin in the recent TV version of Picnic. "Josh has a real sense of beauty." she says, "and he's very nurturing." He's also resolute. While filming Hollow Man, he decided to learn how to play guitar. "He borrowed mine when he could hardly play," says Kevin Bacon. "By the end of the shoot, he played well. If he has an interest, Josh does it." Adds Zerbe: "he's focused, which is why he's good on a Harley and at poetry."

That focus has been trained on girlfriend Driver since the duo's first date (they watched a sunset from his red Dodge Ram pickup). With Brolin's blessing, she has draped antique quilts over worn chairs in the living room, and photos beaming her smile pop up all over the house. And those children's drawings on the fridge? "Those are Minnie's," Brolin says, laughing. Each cartoon has a caption: "Carmine has hysterics when Esmeralda has a tantrum," "Carmine and Esmeralda fight over the remote," and so on. Explains Brolin, "I'm Carmine, the curmudgeon. She's Esmeralda, the beautiful, dancing, Spanish-looking chick who's with the guy with the serious emotional hump on his back." He comes upon "Esmeralda watches Carmine sleep" and grins: "That's nice."

Brolin and Driver seem to have doodled their way into a complementary relationship. "I'm more cynical, she lightens me up," he says. "I can't imagine being with anybody else." He's mum on marriage but admits he's gaga. "Absolutely. One hundred percent." It helps that Driver is smitten with the kids, who spend weekends at the ranch and weekdays with their mom, Alice Adair, an ex-actress with whom Brolin parted in 1995. The London-bred Driver "loves being up here," Brolin says, though the ways of the wild can throw her. When Brolin recently ordered his dog to get rid of a squirrel ("They ruin my property"), Driver turned ashen. "Man, tears -- just wahhh," he says with a wince. "she'd never seen anything so violent ... but that's country life."

These days the former punk rocker with a daredevil streak -- Brolin won the Toyota/Pro Celebrity car race this year (as did his dad in 1978) and he used to skydive -- is sticking to the ground. "Now I think, 'What if the chute doesn't open?' " His current notion of adventure includes checking out the Animal Planet channel with his kids. "This is the first time we've had TV in six years," says Brolin. "We're urbanizing!" He also kicks back by watching Spencer Tracy flicks or spinning Pavarotti on the Wurlitzer jukebox. Or, he'll mend a fence or hit a cattle auction  ("Sometimes I'll take home some 30 cows to graze.") Lest anyone confuse him with a character on The big Valley, Brolin does have a slick of slicker in his. When he's down in L.A. for work "I'll go to a museum or to the Mint for jazz," he says. "I need to be in the city sometimes."

But while the dusty-shoed cosmopolitan dreams of someday living in the south of France or in Greece, it's his homestead that inspires. In the stillness, "my imagination can kind of fly," says Brolin, as he takes in the view from his bedroom window, from the wildflowers to the oat fields to the ducks flying above it all. In winter, those hills are Irish green. Fog rolls in from the ocean and hangs like a blanket." A heavy, happy sigh. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else."

Over 600 Funny And Cute Squid Names

I think most people think of those delicious calamari rings every time we think about the word ‘squid’. Or is it just me? Truth be told, some people like to keep live squid as exotic pets, even though they aren’t the most social creatures.

Squids aren’t easy to take care of. They have some specific tank requirements, are pretty sensitive to the general quality of the water, and will usually have a really short lifespan. These are just some of the reasons that make them hard-to-raise pets. If you’re a really big fan of cephalopods or really like squids, you will have to learn about the best way in which to take care of them and offer them all the needed conditions to have a good life.

The world of exotic pets sees more and more people adopting squids. Even though they will need a lot of your time and consistent maintenance, they are very intelligent creatures and will be very fascinating in an aquarium.

Squidnapper – Some people see squids as the kidnappers of the waters, due to the way in which they hunt their prey.

Squid Names from Penguins of Madagascar

Penguins of Madagascar was aired in 2014 and is one of the most popular computer-animated comedies, a part of the Madagascar movie series franchise. The stars of the movie are four penguins that are planning an elaborate conspiracy. Their end-game is to stop an evildoer called DR. Octavius Brine from conquering the world.

This movie has got the interest of a lot of people, but especially children. Even though the characters of the movie are penguins if you’re a big fan of the movie you can name your squid as one of the characters.

Skipper – This is the leader of the gang and the only one who makes the shots for all of the team members. Although his ways seem weird at first, his determination always leads his team to a successful end of the missions they start.

Kowalski – This is the tallest and the thinnest penguin, but at the same time, he is also the smartest one of them. He is the one behind Skipper’s elaborate plans and helps the team find great escapes from hard situations.

Rico – Rico comes from Antarctica, is mute but very loyal to Skipper. He is the one that always acts very rationally. This penguin is portrayed as a crazy penguin with a scarred face and spiked hair in the TV show made after the movie.

Private – This penguin is the most naive member of the team, mainly due to the fact that it is also the youngest of them all. He features a squeaky British accent and has very large, bulgy eyes.

Final Words

I really hope that you have found the perfect name for your squid somewhere inside the lists I have built. If you found the one you like or if you have other ideas for squid names, leave a message below.

A Party At Wayne Manor (Chp 18)

The secret’s out about Roy and Damian’s relationship, along with Dick and Jason’s future cloned son...to everyone!

           “Big brother, hurry up!” Tokyo shouted “We’re gonna end up late to the party!”

           “Patience, sis, I’m almost done!” HK shouted back.

           Tokyo was pacing herself around the safe house the two got from Jason, as she was busy checking herself out to save some time. She got herself a pink glittery dress and a silk scarf…which is unusual for a feral rabbit like herself. But since it’s a lavish party, it’s best to dress for it to be safe.

           HK soon came out the bathroom, for he himself was finally done. He showed up in a black tux, but kept his collar on in place of a tie. So in his case, he looked as if he came out of a bachelor party. The moment Tokyo saw him, she chuckled a bit.

           “I always forget that you hate ties” she points out “Let’s hope people will ignore that”

           “They might. They’ll be too busy looking at whoever Bruce will being as his date” he responds “And to a further extent, Damian and Roy”

           Tokyo then realized it; remembering that Damian and Roy are pretty much a solid couple, even if they’ve been around for roughly six months now. Of course, the duo themselves were gonna be late, so they left the safe house and flew off to the Manor.

           Elsewhere in Bludhaven, Dick and Jason were getting ready as well, as both had their suits to be altered to fit their current height. As for Mary, she was busy checking her makeup…long as she doesn’t wear too much…along with the dress she was given to secretly without her fathers’ knowing. When Jason came in, he was the first to notice it off the bat.

           “Hey Princess, where did you get that dress there? I like it” he asked her.

           “Oh, um…I got it from Ms. Quinn one day” Mary explained “She and Ivy took me shopping while you and Dad 1 was away on patrol”

           “Really? Huh…didn’t know that, but glad to hear it. Just let me know if they’re coming, and I’ll perhaps thank them” Jason stated, smiling as he adjusts his tie.

           Mary giggles as she was finished up her preparations, allowing Dick to come in to finalize his. He too noticed the dress Mary was wearing, and before he could ask, Jason noticed by saying that Harley got it for her. To Dick’s surprise, that’s a first for him.

           “Harley being nice? I haven’t noticed it that much” Dick stated in surprise.

           “Yeah. Probably cause with Joker dead and all, Harley’s gotten back to her previous life. Or so I thought, since she’s with Ivy now” Jason responded “Least she’s happy this time”

           Dick nods in agreement as the two heads out the bathroom, with Mary awaiting for them near the front door. She said she had gotten a text from Tim, saying he, Barbara and Connor are all gonna pick them up to take them to the Manor.

           “Whoa, Connor’s coming also?!” Jason asked in shock “I didn’t know he stuck around. Figure he had went back to Metropolis by now”

           “My guess is he may have something important to tell” Dick stated “But let’s hurry so neither of us will be late”

           And without hesitation, the three headed downstairs to head outside as they await on the three to arrive. Of course, Mary then questions that if car they have will be big enough for six people, as she knew that most cars can carry roughly five. When asked about the question, she responded by saying that where she or Connor will sit.

           “Oh, don’t worry about that. Connor’s able to fly, so there’s probably room for us” Dick responded “Don’t tell me he didn’t inform you, no?”

           “I may have heard about it during one of my visits” Mary stated “I thought he was joking at first, until he carried me over the skies to prove it”

           Both were rather surprised that not only did she witness Connor’s flying skills, he also took her to the skies with him to further show it. Moments later, Tim pulls up inside a jeep, in which Connor got out of the backseat to allow Mary, Dick and Jason inside. He holds the door open to allow Mary in first, to which she giggled a bit.

           “My, Connor, you’re quite the gentleman” she stated with a smile.

           Connor blushed at the remark, which he couldn’t help but giggle at it. Mary joined in as she goes inside, with Jason and Dick right behind her. Soon after, Connor closes the door, to which he said that he’s ready to head back. Tim then starts the jeep as he makes his way back over to Wayne Manor, whilst Connor flies above to stay on track.

           Back at the Manor, the ball room was two-thirds full with many guests—including Munki, Penny and Oxford, who was astounded by the décor—as everyone was busy mingling and enjoying the festivities so far.

           “I must say, this is quite the joy” Munki complimented “I’ve never seen a ball this fancy in decades before”

           “I have to agree. Everyone seems so happy, as if nothing’s going wrong. I even saw Selina talking to Bruce over by the wine bar” Penny stated.

           And she was right: Bruce and Selina were busy exchanging words as they were even busier with the wine that Oxford had sent—something he brought from the island, he said—a possible sign that they’re pretty much enjoying things.

           “I must say, Bruce, this is quite the party” Selina stated “Even Harley herself is having quite the time. Pamela should keep a close eye on her, though”

           “Hmm? How so?” Bruce asked curiously.

           “Well, with Joker gone and all that jazz, who knows how Harley will move on. Though, rumors stated that Pamela’s allowed her to stay” Selina explained “Even Harley went back to her previous job as a psychologist. Nice for her, though”

           And with the conversation about Harley goes on, elsewhere, Tania, Helena and Tyreku were busy munching on the food, much to Tifani’s embarrassment. She had to cover her face as a way of saying she doesn’t know them at the moment.

           “Honestly, could ya save some for the guests?” she asked “I’m sure they’re hungry…”

           “As if. They’re probably slap drunk on that wine we managed to smuggle in” Helena stated “I’m surprised no one had bitch-slapped anyone yet…”

           And as if they needed more reasons to spice up the party a bit, Alfred shows up to announce the arrival of Mr. Todd and Mr. Grayson, alongside their daughter (no one knows she’s been cloned). All eyes turned as the three made their way in. Gasps were heard soon as Mary shows up in the dress Harley and Ivy got for her…gasps of surprise, that is.

           “Well, well…is that Miss Todd wearing the dress Harley got her?” Selina asked curiously.

           “Looks like it. Had no idea it would look beautiful on her” Bruce responded “I must say, Quinn’s got some taste when it comes to fashion. And I like it”

           Mary makes her way through the crowd—Jason and Dick right behind her—as they hear many compliments as to not only her dress, but how the first two Robins are also. Both sporting matching suits and ties, though Dick’s is blue in color while Jason’s in red. Plus, both sport flowers on top of it; colors matching the ties.

           “Glad you guys could make it” Bruce calls out “Though, how did you get here?”

           “Oh, Uncle Tim gave us a ride” Mary responds “Also, his friend Connor came along with him. Hope they come in, too”

           And before Bruce could ask about Connor, he, Tim and Barbara enters the room as well, announced by Alfred. Tim was sporting a suit similar to Jason and Dick’s, but with more of a yellow coloration for his tie and flower. Barbara was wearing a light, glittering dress—Mary picked it out herself—and with Connor having a coat hiding his shirt underneath.

           “Looks like he’s having trouble finding a suit” Munki mutters “Though the outfit he has on is good nonetheless”

           The trio makes their way to where Bruce and Selina is, with Mary hugging Barbara telling her how nice the dress is. And with the conversation between the eight was going on, a dinging sound was heard from a wine glass…Munki’s own specifically. He then tells people that one more announcement was made as to who’s coming last.

           “Knowing myself, I always save the best for last” Munki pointed out “And with that, let me announce the last pairing to arrive!”

           As everyone turns to see him, he announces the arrival of Damian and his significant other: Roy Harper. And by then, Alfred shows the upcoming couple as they appear in view of everyone. Damian’s suit matches the ones the other three Robins are wearing, except his is purple with green coloration of the tie and flower.

           As for Roy, he dons a white suit with a red tie—he opted to not wear the flower. Eyes were glued onto them as they walked across the ball room. Words of happiness traveled through Damian and Roy’s ears as the pair began to smile; by the time they get to where Bruce is standing, he smiles as he began to hug the two.

           “Y’know, this is the sweetest moment ever” Tyreku stated “Makes me wanna cry…”

           “Wonder if this is how Bruce reacted when Dick and Jason became a couple?” Tania asked “I haven’t heard much of that from last year”

           Tyreku stated that Vivani was the one who found out about it at the diner where she works. She had spotted Dick, Jason, Damian and Roy seated together, which sparked her curiosity. While she was getting their orders, she overheard about Damian and Roy being together, much to their surprise.

           “Really? So she found out this long before Bruce did?” Tania asked again “I’m surprised she kept it from us…”

           “I’m surprised we’re finding this out just now” Tifani added “But thankfully, there’s no issues out of it, which means the family’s expanding even more…far as I know”

           And as the girls watch on, they decided to go up and congratulate on the couple’s sudden announcement. The party had continued on in bright spirits, with everyone talking, laughing, eating and drinking…specially the drinking part, thanks to the contributes of Helena’s idea of wine-smuggling.

           “What a party, eh Dad?” Roy asked Bruce.

           “You’re free to call me that as soon as I see a ring on Damian’s finger” Bruce chuckled “But I won’t rush it, though”

           Roy’s eyes widened from what Bruce stated. A ring on Damian’s finger?! Does that mean that he’s okay with Damian being engaged or married to me, Roy thought, I was expecting something else, but this is good? But of course, he grinned as he hugged Bruce, saying yes in response.

           “Now this is a party!” Munki exclaimed as the crowd cheers on.

           But to everyone’s sudden surprise, HK and Tokyo somewhat flew in through the windows from the ball room, nearly scaring everyone—save for their own team, who were somewhat used to it.

           “Leave it to them to do a surprise appearance” Vivani pointed out “They never fail to do so”

           “Sorry we’re late; we’re oddly terrible at directions” HK calls out “But thankfully we got here in time. And speaking of time, Jason…don’t you have any news to share?”

           Soon, everyone turned their attention over to Dick, Jason and Mary, with her wondering what did HK meant about news? Jason then turns his attention to her, as he looks at her with a growing smile on his face. This does get her attention.

           “Princess…remember those conversations that he and I had before?” Jason asked, mentioning Dick in the process.

           “Oh yeah, I do. Why, what’s going on?” she asked him.

           “Well, turns out Dick and I are planning a sibling for you…a brother of sorts” Jason replied, hoping she doesn’t get upset “Hopefully he’ll show up in a matter of months”

           Realizing that they were heading back to the labs to clone a brother, Mary squeals in excitement, saying that she was actually alright with it the whole time. Relieved, both Robins gave her a group hug, as a wave of aww filled the room. This, however, surprises Connor.

           “Something troubling you there, dude?” Tim asked.

           “Not really. I’m just surprised that he and Jason are having kids…albeit cloned, like me” he responded “And after seeing Mary, I wonder what their son would look like…”

           “My guess is he’d resemble Dick more, although a younger version” Tim assumed “It might surprise Bruce himself once we see him”

           Curious but rather surprised, Connor then said that he’s also looking forward to meeting with their future son. As for the others, Roy and Damian were busy with the shrimp—that HK then tried to sneak out with—with Tokyo spiking the other punch bowl when no one’s looking. Ivy and Harley was outside being amazed by the moonlight, but was soon joined by Munki.

           “Enjoying yourselves?” he asked them.

           “To be quite frank, we are” Ivy replied “The party’s not too bad, yet everyone’s getting quite drunk or happy. Probably a mix of both”

           “And word about another kid for Grayson and Todd really caught my attention” Harley added “What kind of kid would he be? He’ll likely end up as a Robin too…”

           Munki ponders on this. He has realized that the Robin trend started when Dick himself was young, then was given over to Jason, Tim and Damian, in that order. But the first three went and got new hero personas…and by surprise, so did Damian recently. Which means the Robin mantle is still in the air, since Mary had likely ditched it for something else.

           “Well…there’s a small chance that may happen, upon the young Grayson-Todd’s decision” he pointed out “If he wants to be a Robin, he may…but likely he’ll opt for something else…”

So I watched the Jerome Reborn Arc on “Gotham“

Just a heads up, I went into this without a lick of context from most of the seasons.  I watched all the Jerome episodes as a lead up but besides that, I haven’t caught up with the show.

Thoughts below.  *In Jerome voice*  Wanna read some more...

I honestly do not know what to think of Nygmobblepot.  Personally, I think the writers made both of the characters kinda whinier than usual (especially Penguin, I mean, dear God no)

I do like Robin Lord Taylor as a young Penguin but I’m more annoyed by the fact that he’s becoming so sappy and whiny.

I’m trying to treat this as an AU but I’m so used to the actual canon that it’s making the viewing experience difficult

Like I don’t agree with Jerome being brought back to life but I actually really like Cameron Monaghan’s performance

I’m still not used to the concept of all these villains being introduced BEFORE Bruce becomes Batman

Surprise, I still don’t like Barbara.  And I don’t like most of her outfits either.

Have I ever mentioned how much I like Donal Louge as Harvey Bullock?  Because I really do.

I will forever hate the whole New 52 “cutting off Joker’s face” idea that was introduced (by Grant Morrison I think) but they actually use this in a clever way in the episodes.

When he has to re-staple his face on, he has to stretch his face, which causes his lips to stretch into a sort of fixed smile.  And he didn’t cut off his face by himself.  Dwight cut off his face beforehand when Jerome was still dead to show the cult followers that Jerome still lives in all of them and cue me resisting the urge to sing “The Lion King” and Jerome just wanted to get it back.  There’s no whole “I’LL CUT OFF MY OWN FACE TO PROVE THAT I CAN OUTLAST ANYTHING!!” kind of shit.

This Joker is like an amalgamation of Hamill, Nicholson, and Ledger and I actually kinda like it and how it’s kind of old school Joker

Lee gives absolutely no shits about Jerome and it’s hilarious

Robin Lord Taylor sounds like Matthew Broderick when he yells, which is unintentionally funny in my opinion

So Jim and Lee are no longer together and Lee is still peeved at Jim because he killed her new fiance on her wedding night because said new fiance was guilty of murder and something and blah blah blah shouldn’t she still be on paid leave for the incident?  I kinda have to side with Jim on that fact.  It’s too soon!

But nope. Dramaaa... *jazz hands*

Jerome totally has the hots for Lee.

And he ships her with Jim.  It’s official, guys.

Everyone is so nonchalant when it comes to discussing Theo Galavan and his deaths

This whole C-plot thing with Selina’s mom is so predictable.  And I haven’t even watched any of Season 3 besides this.

Jim’s over-the-phone burn to Dwight was pretty sick

David Mazouz as Bruce is slowly developing into Batman and it is really good

Dwight is THE worst employee

I’m not sure about Barbara and Tabitha as a couple.  It’s kinda just shoved into the story in S2 and there is a little bit of development on their relationship.  I think the one thing I can enjoy about it is that they’re so gleefully sadistic and they know it.

The confrontation between Jerome and Bruce in the maze of mirrors is done so well...

I wanna know where the cult followers got their outfits

Did anybody notice Ed wearing a green suit in the winter finale?  Because I did!

Court of Owls?!?!?  I know they were in the show, but what’s their plan in this season?  And with the Bruce clone?

Mayor Oswald Cobblepot a la “Batman Returns” AKA THE worst political decision Gothamites have ever made

Ed’s acid trip is straight out of the Adam West show

Wait, so how old is Jerome?  I know he’s a little older than Bruce.  I’m guessing he’s like 19 or something because Gordon said he was 18 in S2

The interactions between Bruce and Jerome in Wayne Manor and the circus are done really, really well you guys...

Jim’s face when he literally punches Jerome’s face off is COMEDY GOLD!

I hate Barbara’s blue and black dress.  It’s hideous.

“Bruce.  Darling.”  AAAYYYY!!!!

I want Jerome’s ringmaster costume.  I don’t care.

Jerome called Bruce “his little conquistador.”  I don’t know how I should feel about that.

I also want Bruce’s sweater.

I don’t know what to think of Sean Pertwee as Alfred.  I like that he’s badass but at the same time he’s a little too harsh toward Bruce

Everyone has a relative in the Court of Owls these days.  Yes, even YOU!!

The writers have said that we technically have already seen Harleen Quinzel and they said that she’s gonna appear in the finale I believe.  I don’t think it’s Barbara or Lee.  Maybe it’s one of the girls on the cheerleading bus in S2.  My theory is that she’s probably gonna be like a young college freshman intern at Arkham (since Jim explicitly said that Jerome is gonna be shipped back to Arkham with his face properly stitched back on) or something.  And if we do get Harley Quinn in S4, that would be.... interesting...

Those were my thoughts.  If anyone has questions, comments, or troll-y remarks, feel free to pop them in my inbox!  Thanks guys!
